Richmond Terminal Rumors.

1 The reports contained in our dispatches
! yesterday, of efforts Of the Richmond and
/ West Point Terminal Company to get
control OF the Georgia Central system,
have caused a little uneasiness in this
/ city. The President ana cashier Of the
! Central are in New York, aud there are
reasons for thinking that deal of some
sort, in which the Georgia Central is
the chief factor, is in progress, but the
most persistent efforts have failed to dis
/ cover what the it's.
Before the Central passed into the
hands OF the present management it was
stated most emphatically by Gen. Alex
ander, and by the representatives of the
New York stockholders, that neither the
Richmond Terminal, the Richmond and
Danville, nor the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroads had anything to
do with the Central; tnat there was no
combination then contemplated with
any one of the above named roads, and
that none was possible that could injure
Savannah.
There is no reason TO question any one
Of these statements. 1T Is true that the
Richmond Terminal has secured control
OF the Richmond and Danvllle and of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia,
and, it is reported, is now trying to get
control of the Georgia Central. 1t is very
questionable whether it can get the con-
troll. 1t cannot without paying very
handsomely for 1t.
The question which presents itself is
this. II ioh a1 40
millions of dollars to get control of the
Central, could it afford to use it in any
way that would injure Savannah Rail-
road men who know the territory of the
Central, and Of the roads now in the Ter
minal combination, say it could not. The
probabilities, therefore, are that if the
Terminal should get the Central the huge
combination would tend to advance
Savannah's prosperity rather than to re-
tard it.
1t is stated that Mr.. Fink, of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, was
asked last fall whether there could be
any combination between that road and
the Central that would be beneficial TO
the former, and he replied in the negative.
From this it is fair to presume that in the
event of the CeDtraPs being taken into
the Terminal combination 1t, and, conse-
quently Savannah, will be benefited.
There is another thing that should quiet
any alarm that may exist. 1t is that the
majority Of the directors of the Central
are citizens OF Savannah, and they would
not ratify any arrangement or combina-
ton hostile to Savannah. 1t would be
difficult to make 1t TO their interest to do
so. They could, of course, be put out of
their places at the next cleo ton, but as
majority of the directors must be Geor-
gians it would not be an easy matter to
get board that would agree to anything
inlmical to the. interests of Georgia or
Savannah. However, there is no occasion
for speculation Of this sort now, and there
is reason for thinking that there will be
mona ri -tl

How Often.

How many lips have uttered one sweet word,
Ever the sweetest word in any tongue
How many listening hearts have wildly
stirred,
While burning bushes to the soft cheeks
sprung.
And dear eyes, deenening with light divine,
Were lifted up, as thine art now to mine!
How oft the night, with silence and perfume,
Has hushed the world, that heart might
speak to heart.
And made in each dim haunt of leafv gloom
A trystiDg place where love mi hit meet
and part,
And kisses fail unseen on lipa and brow
AS on thine, sweet, my kisses finger now!

The Hawaiian Treaty.

According to our dispatches this morn
ing, Representative Wallace, of LouIsi-
ana, proposes to defeat the extension OF
the Hawaiian treaty by making the point
that the House ought to have been con-
suited in making it.
The House has claimed several times
that where a Question OF revenue Is in
volved IN a treaty. 1t ought to be consulted,
but the Senate has not paid much atten-
ton to tue claim. II Mr.. W alIace presses
the point. howeYef. he may cause it to be
it is likely tS-bdif he pays no further at
tentlon to it.
The sugar planters of the Hawaiian
Islands ought to make fortunes rapidly.
About nine-tenths Of them are Amerl-
cans. The lands of the islands are very
productive and labor is remarkably cheap.
The cane doesn't have to be planted more
than once in dozen years, not so often
perhaps as that. The entire product of
the islands is sold at San Francisco, and
no import duty is collected upon it. Not
withstanding that fact the Pacific coast
people do not get their sugar as cheaply
as do those OF the Atlantic coast. They
have TO pay the price of sugar in New
York plus the cost of transporting il
across the continent. One or two men
monopolize the entire sugar product Of
the islands, and they take good care to
make every cent they can out of the
monopoly.
The only argument in favor of extend
ing the treaty is that England might get
a foothold on the islands if this country
failed to retain its influence there. There
is force in the argument in view of the
fact that England always takes all she
can get.
There is in the treaty provision giving
this country the right to use the barbor of
one of the Islands for naval purposes.
Many Senators objected to this on the
ground that it would prevent the
Hawaiians from ratifying the treaty.
The treaty was adopted, however, with
the provision in 1t, and it now remains to-
be seen what the Hawailans will do
about il.

How the Senate Stands,

Whatever may be the result of the con-
tests in Indiana and New Jersey the Re.
publicans will retain control of the Sem
ate. II the Democrats elect Senators in
both OF tho 'e States they will have thirty.
seven Senator's and the Republicans will
have thirty-Line. provided Riddleberger
acts with them, and there is no doubt that
he will.
Twenty-Five Senators were to be elected
! this year. Twenty-siX Republicans and
twenty-five Democrats held over. All the
Senatorial contests have been set
tied. except those OF Indiana and
New Jersey, and it is impossible to say
with any certainty when they Will be
disposed OF finally. The chances are that
IL Democrats are chosen their seats will
be contested, and they will have to plead
their cases before a hostile Senate. The
Republicans don't like such mar
row majority in the Senate as they will
have after NJ arch A, and If they have the
least excuse they will not admit DEM
ocrat from either New Jersey or Indiana.
The New York Tribune saws that
''during the past six years. under our
benefcent industrial system, public
securities to the amount of 1920, 600
have been paid Off. But the tariff
smasher's sledge-hammer swings as
blindly as ever" 1t is true that large
amount of public securities have been
paid off and that the tariff smasher,s
sledge-hammer still swings but not
"blindly." Now that there are no more
public securities to be paid of for several
years, what does the Tribune propose to
do with the surplus? Does it propose TO
collect the currency of the country into
the Treasury and produce a scarcity of
money that Will result in financial disns-
ter? Does it not seem as if it would be
wise to swing the tariff smasher's sledge
hammer more vigorously than ever2 The
Trioune's young man doesn't seem to
know exactly what he is writing about.
Now and then death recalls a long ago
tragedy. Last week there died in the te.

lily of seven persons in Grant county, Ind. II,
with whom they had stopped for the
night while travelling. The story, as re-
called, is very horrible one, it having
been shown that when the husband AT
tempted to Kill the little babe of the
household it walked up and crowed. AT
this juucture the woman picked the child
up and dashed its brains out against the
wall. All the bodies were found buried
under the floor of the house.
Rev. Sam Jones says that every church

The Largest Checks.

From the Neao York Tribune.
Two of the largest checks for money ever
drawn i'll New York have just been framed
and Will be hung up in the Presidents Office
Of the New York Central road. They are
both Vanderbilt checks, and represent two
generations of that family. They were
drawn nearly twenty years apart. The first
one is for a $l,OO0,00o, and reads as follows:
NEW YORK, March 2. 1867
NATIONAL CITY BANK
.'''''''': OF NEW YORK,
2 Mar: Pay to the order of William K.

$1,000, 600. C. VANDERBILT.
Across the face OF this check, which bears
evidence Of having passed through tho banks,
Is the Endorsement "Good, Is. Cartwright,
cashier" The check was given in payment
for the st. Johns Park property. now occu-
pied by the sreat freight depot of the New
York Central and Hudson River railroad.
Mr.. DinscomOe was then Controller OF Trinity
parish. one noteworthy feature of this check
is the signature, which shows the Vanderbilt
name split in the centre after the old-time
fashion, andthe prefix of Van standing out in
bold relief. The other check is six times
greater than the first, and reads as follows:
